20-inch Boyd wheels, fresh paint and other updates are done

For that price, the private seller advertising the wagon on ClassicCars.com promises a vehicle that runs smoothly at highway speeds, as evidenced by a recent six-hour excursion.

The engine is a recently rebuilt 327cid, 250-horsepower Chevrolet small-block V8 linked to an automatic transmission. The seller notes that the engine has a mild Comp cam and Edelbrock intake and carburetor.

The Astro Blue paint is new over a “laser-straight totally rust-free Oklahoma body.” The wagon has factory air, front discs and rear drums, and rides on new tires mounted on 20-inch Boyd Codington “Smoothie” wheels.

The AM radio is the one that came with the vehicle. The interior has a new dash pad and carpet. The seats and door panels are original, but in what the seller terms “excellent condition.”

“Could use new arm rest pads and kick panels,” the advertiser admits. “Also the molding around the inside of the rear side windows is missing.”

One interesting feature from the era is the two-way tailgate, which can be opened like a pickup-truck gate or can swing open horizontally.
